As expected Tom Cruise's new movie Vanilla Sky topped the box office, barely beating out last weekend's champ Ocean's Eleven. This is Cameron Crowes second pic with Tom Cruise, and first pic since last years awesome, awesome, awesome movie Almost Famous. Harry Potter barely slipped this weekend, only slipping about $3 million. The other new move, Not Another Teen Movie fared well with $13 million. Here's the run down:

1. Vanilla Sky - $25,000,000 ($25 mill)
2. Ocean's Eleven - $23,050,000 ($73.3 mill)
3. Not Another Teen Movie - $13,100,000 ($13.1 mill)
4. Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone - $9,900,000 ($253.3 mill)
5. Behind Enemy Lines - $5,485,000 ($38.9 mill)
6. Monster's Inc. - $5,026,000 ($218.9 mill)
7. Spy Game - $2,400,000 ($57.7 mill)
8. Black Knight - $2,010,000 ($29.7 mill)
9. Shallow Hal - $1,395,000 ($66.9 mill)
10. Amelie - $750,000 ($12.5 mill)

This Wednesday brings us the much anticipated Lord of the Rings which will no doubt be lord of the box-office. Jim Carrey's new movie The Majestic is expected to open big as well. With alot of big movies opening, we should be seeing some interesting results.

Hmm. Maybe Vanilla Sky's relatively unimpressive debut has something to do with the mind-bogglingly opaque ads they're running for it. Granted, the movie sounds like it's a difficult concept, but those ads leave me totally baffled.

Was Tom Cruise in Almost Famous? I know Jason Lee was in both, but did Cruise have an off camera roll?? :D
